Indians Break Lopaf Jinx By 8-2 Victory / r New York. June 5.—(UP)— The Cleveland Indians may have offended the American society for pre- -- vention of cruelty to animals, but Ed Liopat’s fantastic jinx over them was conquered at last today, at the expense of 15,060 little rabbits and ohe thoroughly terrified black cgt. It took thau-many rabbits, since of course only lett hind feet could be used, to end Yankee pitcher Lopat’s spell over them last night. And some of the fur left over from the free good luck tokens donated / [to fans, must have been used for the “rabbit ball’’ which Bob Kennedy blasted for a three*run first inning homer that put the game beyond recall. ? The B.to 2 defeat was the first Lopat hai suffered this , season / after eight straightAsuccesses, but more important.-it marked the first time that Cleveland had beaten him ; ’since June 17, 1949, nearly two years ago and in the intervening stretch he had trounced the Indians 11 times in a row. To complete the bunny motif, it was an Easter holiday. Big. Luke Easter, back In full power after a knee injury that threatened to end his career, drove in two runs with three singles'. The Yankees now have lost seven 'out of their last eight games, three in a row to the Indians, who now have a nine game winning streak. The cat was an unauthoriz- • e<t phase of the hex. A fan rushed on to the field with it and gave Lopat a quick brush of its fur as the Yankee hurlet was warming up. " Mike Garcia by effectively spacing Ithhits won his fifth ganie. pitching = shutout ball after the first inning. ' i ' * Meanwhile, the chugging Chicago White Sox increased their first place lead to games by twice cooling the Boston Red Sox. 6 to 5 tand 2_to 0 as first Billy i’ierce and then Saul Rogovin turned in steady pitching jobs. The tyro pitchers Chicago traded to Boston in a “pen-1 nant deal” last'wihter. were the) losers. Ray Scarborough was j kayoed \in the opener and Bill Wight failed to last in the second * game. ’' i Pierce won hiS seventh game and Rogovin his thjrd. It was Rogovin’s . • 1 second in a row since he came to : x Chicago from Detroit ['two weeks •ago. He gave Up seven hits while Pierce scattered 16. Chicago ed the opener with three runs in the fifth and got its twjo runs in the second game on a double by Nelson Fox. a triple by Orejstes Minoso, and a double >by Eddie Robinson in the sixth inning. < In other American league games, Detroit topped Washihgton, 6 to 5, and Philadelphia edged St. Louis, 7 to 6.

While Sox Obtain Outfielder Lenhart Chicago, Jtine 5 —(UP)— Don Lenhardt received a hearty welcome from the ChicagofWjhite Sox today, but it’s uplikely he'll break in immediately on a lineup whlpb has won 17 of ’its last 19 garnet and 23 of its last 27, manager Paul Richards indicated. "I’m glad to have hlin with ue.’l Richards said, “and I’ll probably use him most against left handed pitching.” \ "He can play in the outfield, and he’ll help us there, and I hear he plays some at first base/' It was rather obviouw that Pich-, ards was counting pn more as an outfielder than an infielder, for Eddie Robthson, belting the ball at .345 as o£?joday, was more or less a fixture on first. And Richards opinion bf him wa'l summed up concisely; I 1 ;! “Ho’s just the best first base? man in the league.” he- said. "I think Lenhardt is a ball play*

er who'll Improve,” Richardp said. “And F think I might be able io use him in the outfield to give us smne pretty good hitting power aga.nst left handert.”' “I might be able so give At Zarilla a rest with Lenhardt. Zarilia’s still favoring that groin injury, and it would help if we could just give him a chance to rest oncie in a while.” ' Richards also was rather pleased that the White Sox now have an actlve roster of only 24. one under ‘ the player' limit. ' "Just i because you can have 25 : men doesn’t mean you have to t carfy 25,” Richards saiej. Valid if I someone good comes along now, > we've gos room to take him on.” Lehardt came to the Sox as the - result of a double trade announced t yesterday. The Sox first sent third - baseman Hank Majeski to the P.iil- - f'adelpliia Athletics for ' permit r Wahl, then added outfielder Paul Lehner and an unannounced cash 4 payment to Wahl to send to the : St. Lou|s Browns for Lenhardt.
